Gentlemen's Choice

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his usual cut, a regular noticed something odd on the wall calendar. Every week, an old man in a fedora appeared, but now he seemed to be standing in front of Gentlemen’s Choice salon. Curious, our regular approached the calendar and realized it was an old photo of the owner’s grandfather—who happened to look exactly like that fedora-wearing gentleman everyone recognized from the weekly snapshots. Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with his own reflection in the mirror behind the counter, causing him to laugh so hard that he almost missed his turn.

2. One day, as a regular was getting his trim, an unusual announcement came over the salon’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our new shampoo dispenser has been programmed to say “You smell like a million bucks” every five minutes.’ A delivery driver walked in, smelling of pizza and coffee. The intercom buzzed again: 'Sir, you smell like a million bucks!' He grinned sheepishly, replying, 'Actually, ma’am, I’m worth more than that.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it wasn’t just any old shampoo dispenser—it was Gentleman’s Choice indeed.

3. While getting his weekly haircut, a little boy kept whispering ‘Uncle!’ at the stylist’s strange comments. Finally, the stylist asked, ‘Is your uncle in here somewhere?’ The boy giggled and pointed towards the waiting area where an embarrassed older gentleman was trying to blend into the furniture. Turns out, Uncle Harold had come along for the ride and hadn’t left yet.

4. While getting his monthly haircut, a man asked the stylist, ‘Do you ever get customers who leave their wallets here?’ The stylist smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh yes, it happens more often than you’d think.’ A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—left his bag behind. The regular laughed and said, “Guess I’ll see you next month then!”
